  1. Complete the spay/neuter voucher application. Allow 72 hours for a response.
  2. Check your email for the next steps. We will provide you with the next-step details.

If you are accepted for a voucher but we do not have any available appointments, you will need to schedule your own appointment with one of our partner clinics:

Both of our partner organizations have backlogs, and you probably won't get an appointment right away. Keep trying!

Both of our partner organizations have backlogs, and you probably won't get an appointment right away. Keep trying!
